The "Prelude to the Wine Country" room was just perfect for my husband and I. It was a very convenient location for visiting family. I'm familiar with Crockett and the area is very safe, peaceful with a beautiful view. I really like having a kitchentte available for convenience and this one included a full size fridge. You can't see it in the pics, but there is a decent size closet to store your travel paraphernalia. This location is situated off to the side of the owners home, but they are not only busy & gone a lot, but it kept it quiet also. There was always convenient parking available to us on a dead end street next to their home. Even though Angela was gone working when we arrived, she left a nice bouquet, fruit, bottle of wine and a nice greeting card(along with directions to retrieve the key). She did come to meet us personally and was very warm and engaging. She was also available by phone or text. By the way, I did share with her we're friendly, but like our privacy. She was very accommodating. It was a very nice stay and would re-book again.

Angela's home was perfectly located on a hill with a gorgeous view of the bay, about half an hour from the city in one direction and the wine country in the other direction. We had everything we needed including a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom. The complimentary wine, cheese, and fruit were a tasty addition to our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had access to a TV with more than enough channels. Angela was readily available to answer any questions we had throughout the entire process. Upon our arrival, she even provided a detailed binder with information about what to do in the area, which made last-minute planning really easy! This was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking for a cozy place close to adventure in the city (San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland) and/or Napa.

Lillian2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

We got to Angela's place with a basket of fruit, wine, and welcome card greeting us. The neighborhood was very quite and the property has a WONDERFUL view of the Bay! The accommodations were very nice and comfortable. The most comfortable bed I have ever rested on. Crockett is a very lovely small town. I only wish we were able to spend a bit more time there but we had a big plans in Napa the whole time we were there.

Beautiful private bedroom with your own bathroom and balcony. Open kitchen, fireplace, 60"TV and mini bar to add a nice touch. 25mins driving to Napa, 40mins to Sonoma, 35mins to San Francisco. Highway80 and Sea view both within your reach. What's not to love your home away from home.

I had a great time staying here. Sung is fantastic! Very clean and beautiful home. I thought it would be weird living with someone I didn't know, but it wasn't at all. Sung and I even took a little weekend trip to Reno together. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Victoria2016-10-24T00:00:00Z

Comfortable accommodations.

Theresa2017-03-26T00:00:00Z

Her and her husband were so kind during me and my boyfriend stay at their place for three nights. I would choose to stay here again and would recommend it. They allow you to use kitchen and tv but I was rarely there because I went to a music festival close by. The room was cozy and has a nice balcony to relax at night also a private bathroom. And they were kind to allow us to get to the place late after our event.

Victoria2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

Sung is so lovely and welcoming. The house is beautiful and so is the room. Would definitely recommend staying there! Thank you again!!

Marie2015-06-06T00:00:00Z

Sung is very pleasant and we very much enjoyed our stay. The bedroom is quiet and sunny with a nice deck. The bed was really comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Katya2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

It was great staying with Sung! She made us feel welcome and was very accommodating. Sweet room with a private bathroom. Her home is in a residential neighborhood/complex. It suited our needs well, but I would recommend planning out your wineries beforehand. Had we realized we would end the previous day and begin the next morning an hour north, we probably would have chosen to stay somewhere closer. Otherwise, it was wonderful!

Samantha2015-05-17T00:00:00Z

Sunny was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. Her home is located in a beautiful neighborhood close to the highway, and the master bedroom is spacious, comfortable, and comes with its own en suite bathroom and balcony. I would highly recommend staying here.

A beautiful, cozy and private apartment with a separate entrance by San Pablo Bay in the Waterfront neighborhood of Hercules. It is midway between San Francisco and Napa. We are close to Berkeley, Oakland, and Walnut Creek .

The Apartment is a completely separate structure from the main house with its own private entrance. We have a detached garage and the Apartment is directly above it. It has a full kitchen with all the amenities: stove, microwave, and refrigerator. It is fully stocked with all the kitchen supplies you need to prepare a meal. It has a full size bathroom with a tub/shower combo. There is a comfy queen size bed, a huge closet, dresser, tv, and loveseat sofa. We also provide access to free WI FI.

We are centrally located to main Bay Area attractions and destinations. We are between San Francisco and Napa. There are no water views from the Apartment but right around the corner, steps away, are nice trails along San Pablo Bay to enjoy the water and sunset views.
If you don't want to cook, there are two restaurants around the corner on opposite ends of the block, THE POWDER KEG AND LEILA'S CAFE.

Rented cottage out for my parents, who were visiting from out of town. Their stay was comfortable. I would certainly recommend this apartment to others.

Mark2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

I recommend Lorena's place for all my friends, family and business associates who come to visit the East Bay Area. So far everyone loved it and was very comfortable with the accommodations.

Stephanie2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

You have to love the Apartment By The Sea! Lorena is truly the perfect host. Everything about the apartment was perfect. The bottle water and fruit were especially nice, and although I didn't get the opportunity to cook for my daughter, the kitchen was wonderful and truly is a stand out feature of her place. Both Lorena and her husband were two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet, and were great conversationalists beyond just the normal, "where is the best..." questions you'd have a local host. This was a short drive to Berkeley to see my daughter, a short trip on Bart to visit the city, and a short drive north to visit wine country. The place made my friend who paid $300 a night for a Holiday Inn downtown extremely jealous. Due to a change in my travel plans, I was going to arrive 2 days early, and thankfully Lorena was able to accommodate me! This will be my go-to place for all my bay area trips.

Kevin2015-09-28T00:00:00Z

Lorena was amazing, she answered questions almost immediately, her apartment was exactly as listed, very clean, plenty of amenities. I travel for work and my girlfriend (Terri) flew in from Denver for the weekend. I had sent Lorena a text about any nail salons in the area and she gave me the name of one not far from her apartment. I had to work on Saturday so my girlfriend hung out and walked to Trader Joe's (about 7 miles round trip) when she got back to the apartment she had a chance to meet Lorena and visit for awhile. Lorena asked Terri if she had made it to the nail salon, when Terri told her she didn't make it, Lorena offered to run her down there to get her nails done. Terri opted not to go but the offer was quite generous of Lorena. Sunday night we were hanging out and relaxing in the apartment after a long day of touring the Jelly Belly factory and Sonoma, Lorena knocked on the door and handed us a big plate of fresh cut watermelon. We invited her in and got to visit with her for awhile. She was an amazing host, very thoughtful and helpful. Her place was quiet and very neat. I hope my travels takes me back to the area, because I would love to stay there again. Thank you Lorena for being a wonderful host and supplying us with a great place to relax.

Tai Chi is practiced at city park daily; it's a lovely passionate group of enthusiast.; you're just across the street.
You could even follow the group while in the apartment. Then again, you're on vacation, maybe just stay in bed and think about following!
Oh dear! ;)

The property was decorated in Victorian fashion and a lot of the furniture and antiques added a unique feel to the listing. The beds were comfortable, and the blackout curtains were a nice touch. It was around a 20-30 minute drive to Napa, and we didn't see or spend much time in Vallejo. One thing that did annoy me was communicating with the owner. I believe that communication and easing into the home should be an easy transition, but this one took some work. Especially when I gave a 1 hour heads up about when I was arriving (after earliest check-in) and they said that they "didn't get my text" even though we had been having full conversations previously. We ended up having to wait for the owner for ~10 minutes after we called.

This lovingly furnished studio part of a triplex in Downtown Martinez located within walking distance to the Sunday's Farmers Market, Amtrak, the SF Bay Trail, the marina, and Martinez Regional Shoreline. It is a short drive to BART rail and major freeways which can take you to Napa, SF, Berkeley, or anywhere you need to travel.

Recently remodeled, this bright and cozy studio is on the ground floor of a triplex. It offers a full kitchen with pots pans, utensils, dishes, glasses, microwave, and a drip coffee maker. Additional features include a bath tub, shower, and electric fireplace.
The room is furnished with a queen-sized memory foam mattress, love seat, desk, and table, and provides generous closet space. Wifi and cable TV (HBO included) are also provided.
For your enjoyment I offer coffee, a variety of teas, creamer, and a snackbar. There are no additional charges for snacking on the snacks.

Martinez is the seat of the county and quite adorable; for a short period, it was also home for both the Pony Express and baseball great Joe DiMaggio.
This apartment is located about 2 blocks from Main Street, where you can stop to read the dedication to the Pony Express, find good restaurants and bars, shop the farmer's market on Sundays, browse the antique stores, or take your boat to the nearby marina any day. Those who work as legal professionals will only need to walk a few blocks to the court.
Things I love about Martinez are that it is
-Near the John Muir National Historic Site
-Near SF Bay Trail
-Close to the Martinez Marina
-Close to the Martinez Court House

Another great stay. Thanks Mickey!

I really liked the walkable neighborhood for meals, easy access to my conference and there was a holiday parade. The house had everything I needed and more.

Fantastic Studio/Cottage Apartment in the Historic Waterfront Neighborhood of Hercules. This is a completely separate studio apartment with a private entrance, full kitchen, high speed wifi, HDTV, a record player (!) and tube audio stereo, full bath, and all the amenities of home. We offer a well appointed, comfy and roomy retreat. Nestled in a friendly and scenic bayside community, with easy freeway access (less than a mile from I-80 and Highway 4).
We are centrally located to many Bay Area attractions and destinations: Just half an hour's drive to San Francisco; less than 20 minutes drive to Berkeley, UC Berkeley, and Solano Avenue restaurants; 25 minutes from Oakland's Jack London Square and the new Uptown District; half an hour to Sausalito and Muir Woods; 15 minutes to Six Flags theme park in Vallejo; about 25 miles to downtown Napa and the wine country.
Nearby public transportation takes you to BART, and from Monday through Friday, there is non-stop LYNX bus service to downtown San Francisco. Pharmacy, shops and all manner of restaurants are all just over a mile away. For groceries, Trader Joe's and Sprouts in Pinole is 3 miles down the road.
Why drive to dinner? Two friendly neighborhood restaurants, Leila's Restaurant featuring breathtaking bay views and indoor/outdoor seating and the Powder Keg Pub, are just a few steps away from the Studio. Small shops and a Saturday Farmer's Market are located at Historic Old Town Pinole, walking distance via a lovely waterfront trail.
After a long day of sight seeing in San Francisco or wine tasting in Napa, you can retire to our cozy studio and rest up for the next day's adventures. We offer super clean and comfortable accommodations that are a world apart from "cookie cutter" motels and hotels; the apartment is tastefully decorated and features art from local artists. We provide a small library stocked with an assortment of books, LPs, and CDs, should you choose to just stay in and relax.
Feel free to enjoy our private garden and take in the sounds of nature, or go for a leisurely stroll along Railroad Avenue to capture stunning views of San Pablo Bay with Marin and Mount Tamalpais in the distance. With gorgeous sunsets and a refreshing bay breeze, walking and biking trails abound in this scenic part of the Bay Area; the Bay Trail is just a few steps away.
Looking for something to do that isn't listed in the usual Bay Area Travel Guides? Just a few minutes drive away are the historic towns of Crockett and Port Costa, off the beaten path and throwbacks to the California of a century ago. With local restaurants and watering holes such as the Dead Fish Restaurant in Crockett, and in Port Costa the Bull Valley Roadhouse and the Warehouse Saloon, featuring over 200 beers from around the world.
If you are visiting friends and family in the area, you already know there are limited lodging options in Hercules and its neighboring towns. This is a great way to be close, but have your own 'space" too.

From the studio/cottage you may hear trains rolling by from the distance, as Union Pacific and Amtrak trains run all along the bay from Oakland to Sacramento.
Franklin Canyon Golf Course is located in Hercules, a short distance from the cottage.
Our deck is quiet and peaceful. Please make yourself at home. Several friendly outdoor cats will often be seen lazing about in our garden.

Karla was very kind and welcoming. She was quick to respond to our questions. She was out of town when we arrived, however had easy instructions and a friend available to help us get set up. Inside the studio is very clean and pictures are accurate. We did have issues with the shower drain not working and the wi-fi was out for several days- Karla was working on resolving these problems, however due to her being out of town did not get resolved as quickly as if she were present. We ended our 8 week long contract early because the area surrounding the apartment complex was not what we were expecting. As young women, we were encouraged by co-workers it would be wise to move to a different location for safety concerns. However, we personally did not experience any problems living in the area for the week we stayed. It should be noted that the floor where the studio is located has a community kitchen and bathroom that other tenants use. All the tenants we interacted with were very nice and helpful. Karla was understanding and provided us with other options for housing when we cancelled our booking.

The space was as advertised - large, beautiful, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is very nicely equipped and I was able to do some serious cooking while there. The tub actually fits a 6'3" person which is rare. Karla was very responsive by email. There were some problems with the wifi, and partway through my stay they put in a new access point closer to my room, which helped. Performance still wasn't awesome - around 3 Mbps - but the signal stayed stable and didn't drop, which was more important. The building and the other tenants are indeed quiet. However, guests may want to be aware that it's located on an arterial street, so there is some traffic noise. There's also a tire shop across the street which has a rather loud pneumatic wrench running periodically from about 7 AM - 6 PM. I think AirBnB users understand that there are some compromises involved with any housing situation, so I'm not panning the property for this - but since "Quiet" is the first word in the description, it's good to know the environment. People who are not familiar with the area may want to be aware that there is often gridlock on 80 E if driving from Oakland/Berkeley, and on 37 E if coming from Novato. 511.org or (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) traffic maps are your friends.

The good and the bad... *you must sign a lease upon arrival. *no smoking, no sexual activity, and no candles, amongst other things stated in the temporary lease. The apartment is adorable! Exactly as pictured. But the location is not for everyone. It's a corner unit of a shared building. You have your own kitchen and bathroom, separate from the common areas for the rest of the units. The WiFi was not strong enough to connect any of our devices. The bathtub was glorious! For the price, this unit was top notch. It is located directly across from a liquor store, gas station, and tire store. In the mornings the sounds from the tire shop begin early. Not easy to sleep in. Also, a school is near by, so lots of kids passing by in the morning and afternoon. Parking was a breeze and my vehicle felt safe the entire stay. If you need a quick snack, there are taco trucks on each corner. Karla had great communication, was easy to reach, and very welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

The listing is as described. Karla made me feel welcome. She went out of her way to make my stay comfortable. I would stay here again when I have to work in the Bay Area.

Slovia2015-10-09T00:00:00Z

Karla was a fantastic host! She really made it a great experience for me. Extremely nice, helpful and outgoing. The Suite was absolutely fantastic as well!! definitely coming back! 10/10 would stay again.

Daniel2015-05-01T00:00:00Z

Answered promptly. Clean studio. She was very friendly. Would stay again. Located on the 3rd floor. Secure and safe.

Kwame2015-06-02T00:00:00Z

The room was great for the time we stayed! Karla was very welcoming and sweet!! She greeted us upon arrival and made us feel at home in seconds! The sleep number beds are super comfy! I would definitely recommend staying in one of her apartments! Very clean and safe!
